Paycheck Movie Review

Now Playing - The Movie Review Podcast

Given a choice, which movie of his do you think Affleck would erase from his memory?

Ben Affleck stars in Paycheck, a high-concept thriller adapted from a story by Philip K. Dick and directed by John Woo. Affleck plays a reverse engineer who agrees to have his memory wiped after completing a classified job, only to discover he left himself a trail of cryptic clues instead of the massive payout he expected. With future-predicting tech, doves, slow-motion gunplay, and Uma Thurman along for the ride, Paycheck aims to blend paranoid sci-fi with Woo-style action spectacle. But does the film live up to its premise, or does it feel like a missed opportunity with a big-budget gloss? The hosts sort through the clues to decide whether this Philip K. Dick adaptation cashes in or bounces.
